Cappuccino Fudge Cake

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most MercifulDo I have a treat for you today? This week is National Chocolate Week!

And, what better excuse is there to enjoy chocolate than to bake a cake with it, fill said cake with layers of chocolate fudge icing and coffee whipped cream?

You'll get your chocolate, slice of cake and cup of coffee all in one go! What could be wrong with that? P.S. If, like my mother, you don't really prefer coffee, don't worry - even she liked this cake. Somehow the chocolate sponge and divine fudge icing balances out all the coffee flavour!Coffee, previously: Tiramisu, Nusskuchen

Sieve the cocoa powder into a bowl, and
stir in the boiling water. Mix well until it becomes like a paste.

To a large bowl, put in the eggs, milk,
self-raising flour, baking powder, butter and caster sugar. Add in the cocoa
powder mixture too.

Whisk with an electric mixer or by hand
until well combined. The batter will be quite thick so do not worry!

Pour the cake batter into either the one
large tin. If using sandwich tins, divide the batter into three. Bake two now,
and then the third later on.

Bake the cake in sandwich tins for 25-30
minutes until the cakes are well risen and beginning to shrink away from the
side of the tin.

If you are baking one large cake, like I
did, bake for 40-45 minutes until well risen.

Once the cakes are baked, turn out of
the tin and cool completely on wire racks.

While the cakes cool, make the chocolate
fudge icing. Put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering
water until melted. Add the butter and let that melt too. Remove to a bowl and
let the icing cool.

To make the coffee whipped cream, start
to whisk the double cream and then pour in the cooled dissolved coffee. Whisk until
it just holds its shape.

Slice the cake into three layers, if you
didn’t already bake it as three. Spread half the whipped coffee cream on the
first, top with a layer of cake and spread that with all the fudge icing. Top with
the final layer and spread on the remaining whipped coffee cream.
